Penetration Testing course info

hello everyone
i just wanted to know how many hours are the vidoes in the course
i'm intrested in taking it but it will be done after work hours, and was wondering if 30 days of lab time is enough if i dedicate 1 or 2 hours a day for the lacture.

Re: Penetration Testing course info

I'm assuming you are referring to the 'Penetration Testing with BackTrack' course hosted by Offensive Security. The videos provided by them total about 8 hours in length, and you also get a ~350 page PDF lab guide. The average time to complete the basic exercises is 80 hours - but that will obviously depend on your technical background.

No. They do have revisions of the course, but these revisions don't correlate with BackTrack releases. Whether or not they will have a new version once Kali is released is anyone's guess at the moment.
